A verdict of second degree murder
wta returned by the jury against
Daniel Perry, colored, in the shooting
of Allen Brannon in the Texanna
section of Murphy the latter part of
October. Colcher Perry, another
colored youth, tried for the same offense,
was exonerated.
Sentence had not been imposed upon
Perry early Thursday morning.
Second degree murder carries a sentence
of from two to thirty years.
Hon Win. F. Harding is presiding
aver this term nf ?
Court. The criminal docket occupied
the greater part of the first two days,
the most important cases being those
against the two Perrys, colored and
W. G. Garrett, the defendants in both
cases being charged with murder.
Garrett was tried at the last term
of court on a sanity plea, the case
at that time resulting in a mistrial.
Garrett entered a plea of guilty of
manslaughter at this term and drew
sentence of fifteen years, with recommendation
that he be assigned to the
department for the criminal insane.:
He was charged with killing Gus MeCurry.

The competition was hard in all

tend of the list was this, they were
tot four gallon cows or Ave gallon
ows or three gallon cows, but they
irere Register of Merit cows. These
ows had given seven thousand pounds
if milk and over four hundred and
ifty pounds of butter fat in one year,
his is practically three gallons of
nilk for three hundred days in one
rear not five gallons per month, three
;aIlons per month, two gallons per
nonth and a gallon and onc?half the
est of thei rmilking period. They
vere consistent high producers. And
n the herd class the Blue Ribbcri
ierd had the Mature Blue Ribbon
3ow and under three year old Blue

funior Yearling.
In the sixteen cows that were enered
in the mature class they were
he very best, eight of these were lin>d
up as hard competition, any cow in
